I'm a big fan of keeping hand weights by the TV for impromptu lifting sessions, and for all you Wii Fit devotees, the Riiflex Wiimote weights have a similar appeal. These snap-on weights affix to your Wii Remote and Nunchuck accessories to make workouts (or play) more challenging. Available as a set of two 2-pound weights ($35) or two 4-pound weights ($40), the brightly colored dumbbells look Read more

A good gym bag is hard to find. That is why when I come across one, I am excited to share it with you guys. Meet the Title Nine WWW Bag ($69). The bag is roomy on the inside, but compact on the outside. The main compartment fits a change of clothes, gym bag essentials, and even some post workout snacks and a water bottle. There is also a zippered compartment for gym shoes and anything else you Read more

Though a jump rope is one of the simplest pieces of equipment available, shopping for one isn't easy because they come in various lengths and the quality can differ depending on materials used. You'll find that ropes differ in handle size and cord weight; I recommend staying Read more

Whether you practice yoga or Pilates or just like to bring a mat to the gym to do toning exercises, I found a wonderful new bag made by Yogoco. It's my new favorite thing for so many reasons. For one, it's eco-friendly, made from pre-consumer T-shirts scraps. It's also extremely lightweight and has two 26-inch long compartments: one for a mat (it even fits my huge Manduka mat) and one for all the Read more

What better motivation than a brand new pair of Olympic-inspired sneakers? This Nike Zoom Victory+ ($103) shoe is inspired by the 2008 Olympic track running spike, but it's made for running on any surface. It treats your feet to a hefty amount of cushioning while Read more

Many folks still, though it boggles my mind as to why, refuse to wear a helmet when biking. Some are worried about messing up their hair on not looking like a fashionista while wearing a helmet. As my mom, and former R.N., always said, "A helmet is a lot more fashionable than a halo brace." But I digress . . . For those looking for a helmet that's a little cooler, and pricier, than your average Read more

Now that the weather is warming up, I bet a lot of you are getting psyched to walk and run outside. The problem is most of the country is dealing with melting snow, so it's still pretty wet outside. It's no fun to run outside and get soggy feet, so if you're looking for a pair of waterproof sneaks, check out these from New Balance ($120). To hear more about them I think these are super cute, Read more
